Do More of What You Care About (And Less of What You Don’t) On-demand course

from $125.00

Most of us at one time or another feel overwhelmed by the insurmountable mountain of tasks that we have on our to-do lists and calendars. This course will provide you the information and tools you need to prioritize and actively choose how to spend your time, noticing and organizing your own behavior and context from a perspective of self-compassion and curiosity. Over 4 course modules, you’ll learn and practice using the practical strategies for time and performance management provided by the Mindful Action Plan and Personal Kanban, as well as various other time management tools and tactics, helping you to re-think your relationship with time and what it means to “manage” it. MAP + PK provides a focus on values- directed committed action within a self-management framework, and so you’ll also be exploring their theoretical underpinnings in terms of repertoires of psychological flexibility, rule-governed behavior, stimulus control, and choice behavior. Dr. Siri Ming will be available to you in the course platform to answer questions, provide clarification and support you on your journey.

We encourage you to sign up with a friend—partnering helps you stay on track with your intentions! If you are interested in the support of a group, please register your interest here. For individual coaching or customized group training within your organization, please email siri@siriming.com.
